J'OINERS BEVELINGr-PLANE.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 19,620, dated Marchl 16, 1858..

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, T. A. CHANDLER, of Rockford, in the county oflVinnebago and State of Illinois, have invented a new and ImprovedBevel-Fillister and Rabbet-Ilane Combined; and I do hereby declare thatthe following is a full and exact description thereof, reference beinghad to lthe accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a perspectiveview; Fig. 2, a side view, and Figs. 3 and 4L end views.

Like letters. designate like parts in the scveral views.

The two planes A, and A, separately considered, correspond to a rabbetplane, provided with keys B, and plane irons C, in the ordinary manner.Molding planes in some instances may be substituted. The cutter D, gageE, and set screw F, are attached to the side of the plane, in the usualway, and for the ordinary use. The two planes are connected togther bythe jointed slides H, and H', Figs. l and 2. These slides fit intocorresponding grooves or gains in the side of the planes so that theslides will be flush with the side of the planes. In the slides areelongated slots I, which receive the shank of the bolts J, which shankpasses through the plane, and has a thumb screw K, on the opposite sideas seen in Figs. Q. and 3. In each slide is an elongated recess ordepression, which receives the bolt head as represented at L, Figs. land 9.. The slides'being thus formed and provided with a hinge joint atI-I, allows the planes to be moved to any position or angle upon theslides, and secured in place, by the bolts and thumb screws J, and K.

From the slide H', extend two arms, L, L, in the outer ends of which areslots to receive the sector INI, as shown in Figs. 1, 3, and 4L. The setscrews N, N, enter the slots, for the purpose of holding Athe sector inplace, and thereby the planes, in the desired position or angle. Bymeans of the degrees indicated on the sector, the planes may be set soas to cut at any desired angle.

The planes may be moved so as to out at various angles, and-may be resetso as to cut at any previous form of angle, by noting the degree on thesector. The planes may be set at right angles so as to have thecharacter of a fillister plane, for cutting grooves. By extending oneplane from the other, at right angles, they form a raising plane, forcut-ting or raising panels. at an acute angle, they become a bevelplane. By placing the planes at right angles so that the face of oneplane will be level with the side of the other, similar to the positionof Fig. 3, they become a halving plane. By

By turning them.

extending one plane from the other so that one is set at an obtuse angleto the other, similar to the position of Fig. 4L, they will bevelmoldings for pilasters and other similar purposes. The plane may be madeto .cut moldings at other angles than those described, and may be set invarious other positions than those described, which positions willreadily be suggested in the practical operation of the plane, and willnot change the nature of my invention.

By making slots in the arms of the hinges H, H, and fastening them tothe plane stocks by thumb screws, so that they can be adjusted, andfastened in the position desired, the plane can be adjusted to planeilat bevels, or bevels of a small angle on boar'ds of various thicknesson both sides of the board at the same time, which cannot be done withany plane made prior to my invention.

Having described my invention so as to enable any person skilled in theart to make and use it, I claim- Making one or both plane stocksadjustable, on the arms or shanks of the hinges, so as to plane bevelsof the same angle, o-n boards of various thicknesses substantially asdescribed.

THOS. A. CHANDLER.
